Our 2026 Battle of the Bartenders, part of Boca Chamber Festival Days, was truly one for the books!
Thanks to everyone who participated, attended, and supported the event, we raised over $70,000 for BFF and our programs!
Congratulations to our 2026 Battle Champions, Tony Ruberg and Ben Firestone, for raising the most funds! Dr. Nathan and Fran Nachlas won the Most Supporters Award, and Caroline Johnson and Trisha Ramudo took home Most Creative Costume!
